However, 200 years ago, rendering the image permanent was only an idea and many scientists worked on this. The Ottoman Empire met photography soon after its invention. Abdulhamid II used photography as a tool to rule the empire. Thanks to this, many things belonging to the era were documented. Many European photographers were drawn to Istanbul when it became centre of attention. "The Eastern Journey of the Dark Box" offers an insight into the events that took place in the Ottoman Empire through the first photographic activities on this soil as well as questioning the point the photography has become due to today's technology in parallel with "reality".
